# MySQL version won't update

 * I’m trying to update my WP site from 3.1.3 to the latest version, but the update
   page says “You cannot update because WordPress 3.3.2 requires MySQL version 5.0
   or higher. You are running version 4.1.11.”
    I just contacted my host (Gate.com)
   and they migrated my site to a MySQL 5 database server. When I login to my database
   to confirm, it says it’s running version 5.1.52. What to do?

 * make sure that you have the host for the database set properly (i.e. to the correct
   database server (the mysql 5 one) )
